This past February, Motor Trend magazine tested a 911 X-50 and the results were pretty amazing....
0-6 in 3.7 sec. and 1/4mi. in 11.8.
How much "horsepower" is required on a "Chipped" car to duplicate those numbers?
Here is the link to the road test: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...he/index1.html

I paid $105K for a used 2002 X50 last year, with complete carbon package, full leather and Fikse wheels, brand-new Toyo Proxes A-1 tires (never been used), extra set of Champion Monolite wheels with SO3s, full 6 year/100K mile certified Porsche warranty from my date of purchase, 2800 miles, MSRP of $178K.

Did I pay too much?

Usually, the Porche Certified warranty is 6/100,000 from ORIGINAL in service date (the date the car was sold new). Price was probably about right a year ago from a dealer at that mileage with the warranty. Private party sales seem to be for much less.

I can tell you what horsepower will get you *real* close to those numbers...

Motor Trend tested a stock non-X50 Turbo and recorded a 0-60 time of 3.98 sec with a quarter mile time of 11.92 sec.

Car and Driver got a 3.9 sec 0-60 time from a stock non-X50 Turbo (Sep 2000 issue).

So it looks like a Stage 1 GIAC would be even closer to the X50 times, and a Stage 2 GIAC should be equal to or quicker than those X50 times.

With an '02 MSRP of $178K you either have much, much more in options than you think (and you stole it for $105K), or, someone was artificially inflating the list.

The full carbon pack was about $6K and the X50 was about $17K. Even with a starting point of $120K, you have about $30K more in options, a very rare car.

My 02X50 stickered at 147K with paint to specification, nav and little else. I guess if you checked off every trim option you might reach another 30K, but that would be tough. Maybe you are including sales tax or some xtra dealer mark up. AS
